It was 1 year ago that I purchased the Tahoe Weekly, becoming only the third owner of the magazine in its 33-year history. To celebrate, our staff decided it was time to give the magazine a facelift, add some new features and introduce a new magazine – Tahoe Powder.
We’ve also redesigned our logo. We’ve been the Tahoe Weekly for more than decade, but the “Tahoe” had been dropped from the logo in the past. We decided to put it back where it belongs.
Tahoe Powder
Tahoe Powder, the only ski and snowboarding magazine about Tahoe, made its debut on Nov. 1 in San Francisco at the SnowBomb Ski & Snowboard Festival and our staff has been blown away by the amazing response. Tahoe Powder covers downhill skiing and riding, nightlife, back country, snowmobiling, family fun, dining, events and more throughout the Lake Tahoe region.
The winter 2014-15 edition is distributed in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Reno and Lake Tahoe. Tahoe Powder is published annually, but requests have been pouring in to publish monthly. We’ll see what the future holds.
Digital editions
Free, digital editions of Tahoe Weekly and Tahoe Powder are now available at TheTahoeWeekly.com. Or, download the free issuu app in iTunes to download the magazines to the iPhone or iPad. Be sure to Follow the Tahoe Weekly on issuu to receive alerts when new issues are released.
New & revamped sections
Art Director Alyssa Ganong has been giving Tahoe Weekly a fresh look inside the magazine (along with designing our new, killer logo). She’s redesigned our Lake Tahoe Facts page featuring a new map, and given our Local Flavor and Entertainment sections a little more ump, including working with Entertainment Editor Jenn Sheridan to give more play to live music and shows. And, Jenn’s added a new Music Notes feature for local entertainment news.
We debut our new, local profile featuring interesting and amazing Tahoe locals in every edition of Tahoe Weekly starting with this issue.
Alyssa also thought it was time to update our staff photos, and what started out as head shots for our columns turned into a fun-filled photo shoot with Jason Abraham at Elevated Image Photography. We love the resulting photos of our amazing staff. You’ll find the images at facebook.com/TheTahoeWeekly, on Instagram at @TheTahoeWeekly, and our Web site at TheTahoeWeekly.com, click on Contact Us.
